Kathy Dobash for Luzerne County Council.

From the inbox:

Kathy Dobash, 53, of Hazleton
is pleased to announce her candidacy for Luzerne County Council. She is
the daughter of the late Edward J. and Marie E. (Potter) Dobash. Her
father was a WWII veteran. Dobash is a graduate of the Pennsylvania
State University.

She has worked as an Art Educator and Therapeutic Staff Support Worker.

Currently Dobash is employed in the private sector as an inventory specialist and continues with her artistic endeavors.

" I have attended the majority
of Luzerne County Council meetings. I believe in full and open
transparency. All decisions made by the new Luzerne County Council must
be open and above board. The county council cannot tend to personal
agendas backed by inflated egos with giant political objectives. Luzerne County must heal first to move forward in the restoration of trust.

While taking calls on the hot
line during the flood crisis I received callers who were evacuated.
They returned to devastation and expressed anger about the waste and
greed in our government. I believe the public realizes the Luzerne
County Home Rule Charter does not contain consequences when it is not
followed. It must be more than a super-sized school board. It will take
time to build trust. Amendments can be made to improve Luzerne County
government. Steps must be taken to ensure elected officials follow the
Charter. Raising taxes is not an option. I will work to not raise
taxes and pay down the debt. We must look for the waste in all
departments and branches of government. I invite the Judicial Branch to work with Luzerne County Council to achieve that goal."
